SO HAPPY FOR YOU

I have made a few simple cards using the "So Happy For You" stamp set, that's one of the gorgeous FREE Sale-A-Bration sets available from Stampin' Up! until the end of March. I love the variety of sentiments in this set, and the little images are perfect to use as accents, or to create your own stamped backgrounds.

My first card is made using a colour combination that is suggested in Stampin' Up!'s Colour Coach - Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Tangerine Tango. I took a piece of Whisper White card, and stamped the flower, heart and star images from "So Happy For You", in these three colours. I think this makes for a bright and cheery card, that might be suitable for a teenager, perhaps sitting an exam ... what do you think?

Next up is a card using three of Stampin' Up!'s blue colours. I've mentioned before that blue is not one of my 'go to' colours when I create cards, but every time I use blues, I love the results. The sentiment, and the gorgeous little butterfly next to it, are from "So Happy For You", as is the little heart stamp that was used along the bottom of the card.

The starting point for the last card I have to share with you today, was the colours from Stampin' Up!'s Celebrations Designer Series Papers. I love the bold Real Red and Pacific Point, but the touch of Pear Pizzazz is the highlight for me. Hope you like it!
